Railroad construction on the Kingman,

begun with all the vim and energy 1t Is
possible to throw into 1t. d. II. Rhodes,
chief engineer of the former road, Is as
busy as mailer organizing and arranging
his forces for the rapid construction of the
road from Cullison the present terminal
point on the west, to Greensburg. The

that point by the first of July. 1t will
take skillful engineering and effective work
to accomplish this, but if there is one
man equal to the occasion and entire
master of the situation. engineer ID. II.
Rhodes is. There will be an effort on the
part of the r. I. Construction Company,
whose line runs from Hutchinson through
Reno county to Pratt Center and thence
to Greensburg, to reach this latter point
a little in advance of the K. p. & w. In
this contest, however, Mr.. Rhodes has the
advantage somewhat, and if really neces
sary he will have trains running into
Greensburg in thirty days after he gets
his force properly organized, which will
be next week Freight and passenger
traffic over the X 2. tG W. has never been
better than at present A special
freight has TO be sent out every day to keep
the yard clear at this point. The material
for the r. |. is hauled over the X. p & w.
to Pratt, where it is stored in their material
yard Already $50 cars of ties have been
taken to that point and 200 cars more of
material are on their way. This immense
amount of material, together with that used
In the construction of the line itself. and
the large amount of commercial freight
daily passing over the road makes traffic
of no small dimensions.

TIE GRANT FUND.

SARATOGA, April 81, 1887.
70 the Aditor OF the Eagle.
The meeting of the G.. A. RS to raise
finds for the grant memorial took place at
Waldock's grove just east of this city.
There was q large attendance, about 500
persons being present from all parts and
posts in the county. The battalion formed
and marched to the grounds at 10 a. m.
The welcoming address was made by Com
rade A. E. Gregory, of Saratoga. 1t was
q speech filled with sense Comrade G. w.
Vance, of Iuka, next addressed the audi
ence with choice speech, which showed
him to be an orator of no mean ability.
The next address was made by Comrade ].
N Bowman. of Saratoga. 1t was also well
received. Speeches and addresses were
made by other comrades. Those present
then partook of bounteous basket dinner
After this most of the day was spent in
hunting and fishing by the young people
and talk of war times by the soldiers.

As we understand it the News was

of the Herald the News is gaining ground.
Notwithstanding the frantic efforts of the
News, Murdock still has the ChronOscope' s

been guilty Of the same offense as the

The Kansan is emphatically opposed to
the plan of publishing daily, under some

hoods about some imaginary enterprise,
discovery or organization, when ID fact

people will have confidence in the city, IN

As for the last boom, we intimated to
scme Newton friends that we feared that
they were the victims of confidence game.
But, boys, let us beseech you to follow
the ever truthful course Of the EAGLE,
which at all times stands ready to prove by
forty thousand people that everything it
says or claims for Wichita is far within mod

GET OUT.

Some old mossback through whose veins
creeps the blood of e breed Of conservatives
now well nigh extinct In America, and who
ere even below par in the more enterpris-
ing communities of Europe, writes long
letter to the Quincy Wing, which is devoted
to the EAGLE and this city. The writer
signs himself "Wichita," which signature
is a misnomer aud calculated to deceive.
a true Wichitan does not think or write as
this man does and as soon as such men, as
he is, gets out of Wichita the better it will
be for all concerned. A property holder
in Wichita who don't believe in Wichita's
destiny will much oblige about forty thous
and people, including the editor of the
EAGLE, by selling out and pulling out al
the earliest date We have enough to do
all of Us, in building our city, without be

KANSAS EXTENSION.

A special to the Globe-DemocIat from
Fl. Smith says that contractors on the Kan
sas extension of the Missouri Pacific have
opened headquarters and are advertising
for men and teams. The work will be
forcibly pushed, and during the coming
autumn and winter Western and Central
Kansas will be supplied with coal from
coal mines at this point. Preparations on
an extensive scale arc already Being made
by the railroad companies to supply the in
cressing demand. All the prominent COM
panies connected with the Kansas lines
have been very largo purchasers of coal
lands in this vicinity, and are now engaged
in opening their coal banks.

Coldwater is the county seat of Comanche

THE HISTORICAL soCIETy's SEAL.

HEAVEN BLESS OUR KANSAS
WOMEN.

The woman suffrage organs of Kansas
being disgusted over the fact that only
one woman in ten responded to the behests
of the late crank legislature, are just now
endeavoriog to create sentiment which
will lead women to the ballot. They talk
about the duty Of women at the polls to
protect their homes against the rum seller
and the drink mania, and such like rot
Another paper says that women should fly
to the ballot to save their communities
from corrupt school boards and the ex.
posure of their children to gambling hells.
In short they talk of intelligent women as
they would to little children, or to the
head class in an imbecile school, and in a
way which Is simply insulting to any in
telligent woman. Because woman knows
how 10 entertain the home circle is no
reason why she should be called upon to
entertain the crowd of business men on the
street corner-because her natural neatness
is seen in her home work is no reason why
she should be asked to expend her labors
on a cross-walk or in cleaning out a gutter
If all the women of Kansas had been of
the order of intellects to which these writ
ers address themselves, every one of them
would have voted at the last election and
s.. AZ, absence Of any urging; but, !
